Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3287793A1] Provided is a specimen dispensing mechanism 12 that includes a specimen nozzle 12a dispensing a specimen to be analyzed in a specimen chamber 15 to a reaction chamber 2 by suctioning and ejecting the specimen, and the specimen dispensing mechanism 12 is controlled so as to perform a specimen suctioning process of inserting the specimen nozzle 12a into the specimen chamber 15 and suctioning the specimen in the specimen chamber 15, a liquid suctioning process of suctioning a liquid by the specimen nozzle 12a after the specimen suctioning process, and an ejection process of ejecting the liquid and a portion of the specimen to the empty reaction chamber 2 from the specimen nozzle 12a in this order. Thereby, it is possible to provide an automatic analyser and a method which are capable of dispensing a small amount of specimen with a high level of accuracy, without depending on the outer shape of a specimen nozzle or the viscosity of the specimen.
